Federal Grants Awarded:
- NSF Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP)
- NIH Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC)
- NIH NIGMS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE)
Sponsorship opportunities are available. ECS is continually assessing the feasibility of long-term implementation through endowments. Donors can help in supporting activities and special programs that would otherwise not be made possible due to limitations and restrictions in the use of federal funds. For example, international students are not eligible to receive federal funding but through donations from the community we have been able to provide awards for talented international STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students from the wider Caribbean.
Donations are always welcome. If you are interested in donating to ECS, please review the reference links below to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and for more information:
